Jill Stein on CSPAN

[rasputin1952]

Brilliant individual that has answers!

[corkhead]

1. does she have an answer on how her syphoning votes away from Obama does any good

when she has ZERO percent chance of winning?

I like a lot of hers and the Green party's positions, but they stand no chance with the strategy they have taken.

Grandstanding on the Presidency is pointless and harmful. Is Karl Rove funding her campaign?

Call me when they have won some Congressional or statewide races.

Otherwise, there is no reason to be discussing her here until Nov 7.

2. It is my understanding that the rules for ballot access, in most states,

include the requirement to run a presidential candidate. Without a national candidate, no ballot line the next election, no congressional or statewide candidates. The rules were set by the two major parties....the Greens have no choice but to abide by them and and conduct Presidential campaigns.

3. I you vote for her, give up on your causes for the rest of your life if Romney wins because of votes

for Stein. My last dealing with Stein were her attempts to help a republican win as Governor of Massachusetts. As far as I am concerned, she is just a Nader blind mite. I voted with Independents in Massachusetts to keep Patrick, that has proven to be the absolutely right vote.

I am a Moderate, I can live under a Romney leadership. I won't like it, but I will do ok if women's rights are repealed by Romney courts, and civil rights are rolled back broadly. Philosophically, I won't be happy, but those things happening won't affect me other than in my heart. I try to convince liberals that are itching to vote for people like Nader and Stein in a tight election not to do that, but they talk their fucking "principles". What principle are they talking about, wiping out every single piece of progress for the last 50 years? So, if liberals want to go ahead and suicide their cause, I am at the point where I am so emotionally tired of fighting them to protect the things that they claim to believe in that I am at the point of letting them have their way.

4. People like Jill Stein have the passion to stand on principle for the positions that I have

They are the people that counter the far right wing nut jobs, not the moderates. The moderates may be the people that govern, but it is the people like Jill Stein that define the principles.

8. So, you don't care if civil rights and women's rights are repealed???

You stated:

Thanks oh so much for being able to stand a Romney win, and be able to live with civil rights and reproductive rights being destroyed.

Your post is appalling.

12. The OP isn't voting for Stein. Bank it.

As for your other point, don't you have any female relatives? Won't your taxes go up in the uptick at the morgue for illegal abortion deaths?

5. I wrote her in for the Republican primary.

6. +1

7. I read your OP as advocating for Jill Stein and the Greens

in the Presidential election. I really don't get how else to read your praise that she "has answers!"

I like Jill Stein a lot, and think she would make a great Senator, but is this an appropriate OP a scant few weeks before the election? Is advocating for a third party against Obama allowed on DU? Honest question.

10. Is this a fishing expedition?

11. I like turtles.

13. Clueless ninny who thinks Obama equals Rmoney

Fuck her.

14. Good. It's good to have choices in a democracy.
